Therapist Spotlight!
We're excited to highlight our wonderful Aspen Perkins, a compassionate and skilled Resident Counselor on our team at Awaken Wellness Center.
With a background in trauma-informed care, veteran mental health, and systems-impacted populations, Aspen brings her heart, knowledge, and unique style to every session. Clients often describe her as deeply empathetic and grounding — someone who creates space for authenticity, even when it’s hard.
🧠 Areas of Focus:
→PTSD and trauma recovery (including combat, incarceration-related, and generational trauma)
→Reentry, identity work, and navigating systems of oppression
→Narrative therapy, CBT and DBT-informed care, and strengths-based approaches rooted in dignity and resilience
💬 Therapist’s Perspective:
“Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about honoring what’s survived. I’m here to walk with you through that process.”
Outside of sessions, Aspen enjoys getting lost in a good book, spending time with her Rottweiler-German Shepherd mix, Hank, relaxing with family, and engaging in advocacy work that fuels her passion for justice and community care. These moments of connection and purpose bring balance and joy to her life and work.
We're so grateful to have Aspen as part of our community. She is currently seeking clients! If you're interested in working with her you can learn more or schedule a consultation by emailing her: aspen@awakenwellnesscenter.com.
